Most of his covers are good or at least interesting, but they just didn't try here. Shame because it's his best album.

>>73412077
It's not a great cover, but I see what they were going for. In the late '90s/early '00s this was kind of the art deco perception of what your average boring 9-to-5 life was like. I know that sounds a bit weak, but it does have basis in... reality.

>>73412258

I feel like I can smell it every time I see it

>>73438027
the title they added on reissues ruins it

>>73438195
heroes and scary monsters have good artwork

>>73438195
Ziggy Stardust, Station to Station, Heroes, and Nothing has Changed all have decent to good covers. Blackstar isn't even that bad.

Is everyone just forgetting that this monstrosity of a cover exists?

>>73443878
Bad cover for bad album

>>73444072

Frustratingly bad cover, tho, considering the other amazing artwork produced for it.

It's not that bad, It seems like an album cover from a 90's indie rock band
